On Tuesday, Tony had a "Power Port" inserted in his chest, which I explained in an earlier entry. The procedure went smoothly, and Tony said it was a piece of cake compared to the tonsillectomy. The incision (below his collarbone) looks very good, and there's not much to speak of when you look at it - just a tiny little lump where the port was inserted under the skin.
They gave him an informational packet that included one of those nifty rubber bracelets to remind people that he now has a port. It's pretty snazzy looking, and I joked that all we had to do to get it was consent to a surgical procedure.
This weekend we're trying to rest up, as Monday is the big first day of chemo. However, there is family-visiting and house-cleaning to be done, so I'm not sure how much actual rest we'll get! We appreciate everyone's concern, positive comments, and prayers, and we'll do our best to keep you updated. Thank you! :)
